Saturday 11/7/26: Weekend Sketchers in Chinatown

 

Join us this week in the heart of Chinatown, one of the most vibrant and visually rich neighborhoods in the city. A fascinating blend of history, culture, architecture, and daily street life, Chinatown offers endless inspiration for sketching. Wander through bustling streets lined with colorful storefronts, hanging lanterns, produce markets, and hand-painted signs. From the ornate façades of temples to the energy of Pell and Doyers Streets, every corner presents a unique sketching opportunity.

As of this writing the forecast is calling for 62 degrees and no rain. Dress warm and bring a stool. Pell and Doyers streets are closed to car traffic.
